Free Tier Value
This free tier is a real, perpetual starter plan with no credit card required, but it is clearly capped on storage, searchable history, and channel count. Compared with the paid Pro plan, it keeps the core messaging and 1-1 calling experience but trims enough limits that it feels worth about $3/month, or roughly a quarter to a third of the cheapest paid tier's practical value.
